Functieomschrijving

Within the framework of the EU H2020 funded program Space@Sea we seek a talented and ambitious post-doctoral researcher for research on control and optimization of logistics for floating transport hubs. The Space@Sea program aims to provide sustainable and affordable workspace at sea by developing a standardised and cost efficient modular (floating) island with low ecological impact. The Space@Sea program aims at four application areas on such an island: Transport and Logistics hub, Energy hub, Farming and Living at sea. The current post-doc vacancy focuses on the Transport and Logistics hub application.

We seek a post-doctoral researcher that will focus on real-time process control and coordination methods of transport and logistic tasks on and around the platform, and with other (land-based) hubs. Specific challenges include developing methods that take into account limited operational windows due to sea states, formal mathematical modelling, developing simulation cases, and determining and assessing alternative routing strategies for vessels and land-based vehicles while keeping environmental impact at a minimum.

You will work closely together with TU Delft staff and the (international) project partners on many aspects of the transport and logistics hub.

Functie-eisen

We are seeking a researcher who has expertise and interest in one or more of the following areas:

You have obtained a PhD or an equivalent degree or expect to obtain such a degree very soon related to these areas (control, optimization, logistics). Good spoken and written English and the ability to work in a team are mandatory.
